Kinda strange to see the amount of people here claiming Kante is burnt every time he hits a rough patch, I think it started in 2019. We're talking about a player who was the best player on the pitch in both legs of the semi final and in the final of the champions league (which never happened in the history of the competition) less than a year ago. He only just turned 31, with a healthy lifestyle, players can maintain very high levels of physicality until 34-35 yo. Benzema, Modric, Ronaldo etc. And he still in the top 3 for ground for ground covered and defensive stats. And still in the top 5 in Europe.
Also, he had a late carreer, meaning he didn't start playing high intensity pro games till he was into his 20s like a lot of players do nowadays.
Like Scouse said and as I think myself it’s likely rubbish.
